Missouri Girls
Come all ye Missouri girls, and listen to my noise,
Be careful how you marry those Arkansas boys,
If you do, your portion it'll be
A little johnny-cake and ven'son is all that you can see.
When they milk, they milk it in a gourd,
Put it in a comer and a-cover it with a board,
Some get little and some get none,
That is the way with the Arkansas run.
